Many readers send word that they enjoyed the images I posted of The Island Woolen
Company Dam Observation Deck (once located in Baraboo, WI and allegedly designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.) Author and architect, Randolph C. Henning was kind enough to send me a couple more rare photo postcard images of this mysterious structure to share with PrairieMod readers.
So readers: is this destined to remain a 'Wright" design (with quote marks intended) or does anyone think there might be a way to solve the mystery?

Is there a DATE attached to this design? Is it listed in either the Monographs or the newer Complete Works? Unfortunately, I do not own either of them to be able to check.

I'm guessing there was an article about this in the local newspaper at that time. The county historical society in that area should be able to find any references to it.
